🚌 WE’VE TAKEN BACK CONTROL 🚌
For the first time in 40 years, buses in the Liverpool City Region are back under public control.
A new era for public transport in our area has begun. 👏
🎸 GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONGED!
@MetroMayorSteve has been working behind the scenes with Apple Corps to bring the brand new Beatles attraction to St Johns Market.
💬 “The Beatles belong to the world – but Liverpool will always be their home.”
🎵 IN THE TOWN WHERE I WAS BORN 🎵
A new one-of-a-kind Beatles experience is coming to Liverpool!
The Beatles story will relocate from its current home on the Royal Albert Dock to St Johns Market in 2028.
The attraction will bring the Fab Four’s story to life with immersive tech, original artefacts and spectacular sets and props from Sam Mendes' upcoming Four Film Cinematic Event.
Visitors will journey through the world that created The Beatles from post-war Liverpool, through to their years in Hamburg, to the explosion of Beatlemania, and the heights of international fame.
Fans will step inside some of the most memorable locations including:
🎙️ The Cavern
🎚️ Abbey Road
🏟️ Shea Stadium
🎶 Savile Row and more!
The iconic St Johns Beacon will also house a new Yellow Submarine experience that will give fans:
🌆 A panoramic 360-degree view of Liverpool
🎸 A chance to spot Beatles landmarks
📍 A look at some of the city’s most famous sights
This will be the first official fan experience to be operated in Liverpool by Apple Corps, creating a world class destination befitting of the world’s greatest musical legacy!
